A to Z: Q is for Queen


Here are a few poems that may or may not be inspired by poetic asides and may or may not start with the letter Q:

Quiet

Today is quiet
I can't think of a thing to write
my quill is empty and so is my mind
after writing all those other poems
of friends and camp

But I'm not going to quit
there'll be a comeback.

Burn

At first you may think
you got burned
but in reality
it's a lesson to be learned.

Queen

They call me the iPad queen
just because I was the first to use it at school
and was smart in figuring out how to use it and more

But I don't like being called an iPad queen
it may be a little part of me
but I don't feel it's me

I shouldn't be attached to material things
and shouldn't be loved for material things
I should be loved for my personality
and I do see that happening

Things are changing and so is this
but no matter what I'm among
many queens of the faith I follow.

I was listening to music while reading the last poem and it felt like a song. Went with the beats and stuff. Haha

"My quill is empty" Nice. I'm not sure I've ever experienced that, though I have suffered from "my brain is empty" syndrome. I think zombies suffer from that too...or maybe they just deal with "my brain is gone" syndrome. Hmm.

I like the quill is empty too. Not so empty as you might think! :)

Hearing About IWSG

Hello readers, I was reading Ali's post about this support group that talks about writerly doubts. I have doubts and I shall share them because that's the point of a support group. I used to be insecure about traditional publishing, that no one with accept my writing. Then I heard of self publishing. Yet that added to my insecurities. I have no money or talent to showcase my writing. After IndieReCon I felt a better, yet once the high went away, I find it's only a little bit better. I need a team, I need help. I call for help, but I don't get replies. That's another insecurity, I don't think I have any fans. My blog is becoming dead and I keep thinking of deactivating my twitter. The only reason I stay is for the knowledge. And the worse insecurity, dare I say it. All the above add to me... wanting to quit writing. I have little motivation and that motivation is to show my Muslim community you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or teacher to be...
